Bob's bachelor pad looks pretty decent, almost like a model home. Of course that's just for when most people come over. Bob either hired Gadgeteer Genius or is one himself, and has rigged up his house better than Bruce Wayne ever dreamed. Yet Bob isn't Q from the James Bond stories. He's a cad, and his home is rigged with the latest mechanical ways to get a woman in the mood, from a luxurious bed from secret corners, to romantic music at the flip of a switch.

This is usually a comedy trope, and would rarely happen in a straight drama.

The trope name is a Portmanteau of Feng Shui - the ancient Chinese art of decorating and not letting evil spirits into your house - and "SCHWING", the sound Wayne and Garth make whenever they see an attractive woman.

EMH: Computer, generate a subspace vibration field around Lieutenant Torres' body. Increase the field by 500% around the patient's mammary glands and clitoris. Inject her with 200 ccs of Klingon hormones. Play the soundtrack to the Orion slave girl holosuite program; the one Mr Paris bought from that Ferengi on Deep Space Nine, on a subconscious wavelength. And download into my matrix the complete personality subroutine of historical figure Captain James T. Kirk!

In Mars Attacks! Martin Short’s character, the sleazy spin doctor to the president, takes a Martian disguised as a woman to a secret one of these in the White House— and refers to it as the 'Kennedy Room'.

Literature

Contrary to the preceding article, one of Q's assistants, Ann Reilly (aka "Q'ute") rigs up a similar room in a James Bond continuation novel, Licence Renewed. James is confused and impressed all at the same time.

In the Doctor WhoEighth Doctor Adventures novel The Taint, Fitz clearly wishes his scuzzy little flat was like this. He just has a "sleazily red" lightbulb in his bedroom, which Sam (who he's on a bit of a date with at the time) makes fun of him for. He says it's his "relaxation bulb" and swaps it out for a normal one.

Live Action TV

An odd variation of this appears in The Twilight Zone TOS episode "A Nice Place to Visit". Henry Valentine's suite acts this way (including music starting automatically), but it's just for mood, because the woman concerned didn't need to be seduced.

There's an episode of NewsRadio where Matthew and Beth end up house-sitting for Bill, and his apartment is much like this, complete with mood music and rotating bed that activate once the lights are turned on. Matthew being... well, Matthew, he's quickly swept up into the "mystique" of the apartment and tries to put the mack on Beth. In the end, it turns out to be not Bill's apartment but his neighbor's.

In the French-Canadian television science-fiction/mystery/drama/suspense/horror (!) series L'Héritière de Grande Ourse, a character has a device for that purpose hidden in his sofa.

Inverted by Barney's bachelor pad in How I Met Your Mother, which was designed to get women to leave in the morning, with everything from one pillow to a porn library to a toilet seat lid that automatically springs upward.

Surprisingly, showed up in the aggressively squeaky-clean (and even more aggressively obscure) SitcomSafe at Home.

Less outrageous, but the apartment Latke briefly rented on Taxi had a lot of party-friendly furniture concealed in the walls.

The wall opposite you rotates 180 degrees, revealing a circular bed with leopard-print sheets. To your left, a portion of the wall slides up vertically to reveal a fully-stocked wet bar. Red and blue lights flash overhead as sexified, slow-jam R&B music slinks out of hidden speakers. Oh, man... you just learned way more about Fernswarthy than you ever, ever wanted to know.

Western Animation

Family Guy spoofed this even more with Glen Quagmire's house. He seems to have Murphy beds built into every wall item in his house. Everything popped out a bed when Cleveland was chasing him with a bat. Stereo, refrigerator, and...bed.

He also has a more...forceful version in his RV, where the buttons on the console clamp the girl down and force her mouth onto his private area. Stewie (and especially Brian) learn that the hard way when they steal it.

Zapp Brannigan of Futurama called his the Lovenasium. He needed it because he suffered from a very sexy learning disability: "Sexlexia".

In an episode of The Simpsons, the entire mayor's office was one of these. Complete with dancing girls descending from cages in the ceiling.

In King of the Hill, Hank Hill goes to get treatment from masseuse John Redcorn. Unlike most of John Redcorn's (Always Female) clients, he actually needs it. ...The room is set up to automatically activate make-out music and mood lighting. Which can't be turned off ever.
